La Ronde in 1980 (Pick-up Summer movie)

Here's a little footage of La Ronde in 1980 or late 1970s. This clip is from the 1980 movie "Pick-up Summer".

Notable rides: Enterprise, Rotor, Himalaya (Mont-Blanc), little ferris wheel (from Expo 67) and those slides from the 80s!

Enjoy!

which ride is the mont - blanc in the video??

[Enkil60]

See 0:35, it's the ride with the stars.

[thewewguy8t88]

why did they take those rides off...

[Enkil60]

Seriously! We used to have the best flat rides before Six Flags bought the park.

But eventually, these rides get old and so they have to removed them.

Have you been to La Ronde this year? You almost get the impression that the park is missing some decent flat rides. Now roller coasters stand out most, which is also a good thing! The best years of La Ronde were probably in the mid 1980s.

@Enkil60 Flat rides is what makes a park magic, not fucking roller coaster... -__-'

Fuck this makes me old! i remember getting down those slides with poches de patates under my ass!! And that side wheeler name was L'ENTREPRISE...you can actually see the ride sign at 0:30 in the clip...wow

Just the way I remember growing up in the late 70s early 80s....God I miss those days! This movie truly captured what it was like growing up then. It's a shame they don't make movies like this anymore.

juste une petite précision. Le Mont-Blanc n'est pas un manège de type hymalaya. C'est un Matterhorn de la compagnie Reverchon. À L'expo par exemple, en 67 et j'ignore jusqu'à quelle année, il y avait bel et bien un "hymalaya", manège semblable, mais les voitures sont directe sur le plancher au lieu d'être suspendu comme dans le mont-blanc.

I have the soundtrack to this movie, including this song titled Summer Magic. It's ripped from the original vinyl, if anyone wants it, send me your email and I will send it to you. Perhaps someone who knows how to upload song/videos on here can upload the entire soundtrack per song! It's a super rare soundtrack and should be on here for everyone to hear!
